Two Special Courts Established in Ranchi to Hear NIA Cases

The state of Jharkhand announced the creation of two special courts in its capital, Ranchi, dedicated to hearing cases investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The move aims to streamline the judicial process for NIA‑related matters, which often involve complex terrorism and organized‑crime investigations, by providing a focused forum for trial proceedings. Officials said the courts will handle both pending and newly filed NIA cases, seeking to reduce backlogs and ensure timely justice. The establishment reflects Jharkhand’s effort to strengthen its legal infrastructure in line with central law‑enforcement objectives.
